minute.”
    A muscle in Dev’s jaw twitched. Oh, he was really itching for a fight now. But then, so was she. Going back on the air with him now might be a big mistake, considering how loose her tongue was today. But walking out now? In the middle of the show? That would only undo every bit of damage control she’d managed to accomplish tonight. There was no good to be found anywhere in this situation now. She was damned if she did, damned if she didn’t.
    Dev glared at her as he scooted his chair to the table and grabbed his headphones. “We’ll finish this conversation later.” He motioned her to silence as the red light came back on and Kate brought them back from commercial.
    Megan had to give him credit—no one in Listener Land would know he was shooting daggers at her as she moved her chair and positioned her microphone. His voice carried none of the heat he’d just blasted her with as he started back into his show.
    That lack sent warning shivers up her spine.
    Kate motioned to her to put her headphones on. With a sigh, she did.
    â€œHi, caller, you’re on the air.”
    â€œHi, Devin. This is Terri from Albuquerque. I’m a long-time listener, but a first-time caller. And I just have to ask you and Dr. Megan something.”
    â€œGo ahead, Terri. Megan and I are open books tonight.”Dev raised an eyebrow at her in challenge. “No holds barred.”
    Megan shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
    â€œWhat’s the story with you two? You haven’t really told us what the problem was.”
    Devin gave her a look that made her regret she’d let Kate talk her into this in the first place.
    She was definitely moving to Canada.

CHAPTER FOUR
    M EGAN KEPT UP A GOOD GAME for the listeners for the remainder of the show, but Devin could tell something was going on. She avoided eye contact unless absolutely necessary and when she did meet his eyes, she couldn’t hold it for long. The technology in the booth seemed to fascinate her, but he could tell that interest was feigned. During the breaks she asked questions about how everything worked and even chatted with Kate some, but after that first heated exchange, all the fire seemed to drain out of her.
    â€œGreat show, guys.” Kate cut the feed from the studio, ending their broadcast and turning it over to Lola’s Late Night Love Show from a station in New York. “The mucky-mucks at corporate are going to be beyond thrilled. I got several calls from morning shows there toward the end.”
    Megan had been busily rooting in her bag, but her head jerked up sharply at Kate’s words. “What do you mean, morning shows?”
    â€œI mean you two were a hit and everyone is dying to know more. I’m going to be up all night cutting and redubbing to get the clips ready.” Kate sighed dramatically, but the glee in her words couldn’t be easily masked.
    Megan, however, paled visibly at Kate’s words. “This was supposed to be the end of it. ‘Give them what they want so they’ll go away,’ remember?”
    He laughed, causing Megan to finally meet his eyes directly. The anger and accusation there… “What gave you the idea the media would go away?”
    â€œ She did.” Megan pointed at Kate, who shrugged and made a show of killing the mics and speakers, effectively bailing from the conversation by virtue of soundproof rooms.
    He had no doubt Kate had led Megan to believe exactly that. “She lied.”
    Megan shot a killing look through the window at Kate, who was busy reviewing the tape and didn’t see it. Then Megan rounded on him. “And you did, too.”
    â€œI never said anything like that.”
    â€œYes, you did. ‘We’ll take calls for a while, and then it will be over.’ Your words, in the lounge, not two and a half hours ago.”
    He thought back for a moment. “I was referring to the show. ”
    â€œOh, my
